Become the Leader you Aspire to be!
Leadership is often talked about in terms of skills but I believe it is much more than that. Effective leadership is a mindset and a set of positive and supportive behaviours. This course is about the things you can do to become an effective leader.
In this course I cover what it means to be a leader and what you can do to become the leader you aspire to be. We cover the difference between leadership and management and the three key roles of a leader. The course also covers the seven behaviours of effective leaders, and I explore why effective leaders need effective followers. The course also looks at the characteristics of toxic leaders - those individuals in positions of power that do not enact the behaviours of effective leaders. Finally, I cover the practical steps you can take to become the leader you aspire to be.
The course is practical and accessible and aimed at anyone already in a leadership position and wishing to improve their effectiveness, and those aspiring to be leaders in the future and wanting to be ready when the opportunity arises.

Provincial regulators of CPAs in Canada do not require that independent providers of CPD be approved to offer courses. Instead, individual CPAs are responsible for assessing whether a CPD activity meets their requirements, and may take activities from any source provided those requirements are met.
Every course offered on LearnFormula is delivered by a qualified subject matter expert or learning organization, and advances learning objectives that are relevant to the responsibilities or professional competencies of Canadian CPAs. All activities on LearnFormula are quantifiable in terms of hours, and are also verifiable, in that users receive documented evidence of their attendance via a certificate of completion after finishing a course (and this certificate is stored by LearnFormula indefinitely). Nearly 100,000 Canadian CPAs successfully satisfy their CPD requirements via LearnFormula on an annual basis.
